William Curtis, the gang related father of the two young warriors who assisted Nia Glassey's exit from this life, is to be released from his pathetic sentence in the washup of the tragic death of the little girl.
Having moved into the "home" that Lisa Kuka and Wiremu Curtis had established in Rotorua, assaulted and severely damaged the little one before his sons and others finally ended Nia's life in a case that Nigel Latta covered in his "Darklands" program recently, he had incurred a sentence of just over 4 years.
Orewa Kemp, another involved, re-entered the media with revellations she is pregnant. Wiremu Curtis, his brother, and Kuka still are our guests in the care of Corrections.
Meanwhile, the cancer that is welfare is still tinkering around the edges of the child abuse problem, statistically revealed as a major Maori problem but one that Maori as a demographic refuse to even acknowledge, let alone attempt to resolve. Oh, they do address it occasionally but only to blame others for what they do with their own hands, often while abusing substances at the same time.
